February 2008 Archives

The sign of a good start to a good year is a complete and total lack of down-time. Simple and mundane things such as keeping up a basic presence have been neglected. I've been tweeting more and blogging less. Drinking/watching/lifting/reading less and hacking more.

Here's the highlight real:

new iMac (love it)
Bench (gotta use those tools)
Tahoe/SF (snow and nice weather, good food and great company)
Sagmeister (inspiring, if a bit banal - in his own words)
FOWA 2008 (coming up... looks good)

In other news, look for a post on the hassles of bleeding-edge on controlled platforms - inspired by the hassle of getting rails2.0 up on a number of servers...

Randoms:
- lately, I've been devouring architecture books
- REST in Rails2.0 is sweet
- LBS in 2008 should be interesting - but a bit over-hyped for the prospective apps launching
- I spend too much time on ffffound
